Summary

Today, Laura is joined by Faisal Islam and James Cook to talk about what we can expect in manifestos this week, and how parties say they’ll pay for policies. They chat about the Conservatives’ announcement on welfare spending, Labour’s plans to build more prisons and Nigel Farage’s response to Rishi Sunak’s D-Day blunder. And we ask why the SNP didn’t mention Scottish independence on Friday’s debate.
